I’d like to clarify that we have enriched the CCDD content in the Terminology Server with some content from Health Canada's Drug Product Database (DPD), which includes ATC codes. Hope you can attend the demo (or view the recording) where we will review the CCDD FHIR modeled view with the enriched content. ... Kind regards, Seema

I had a look at the release files and found that for the clinician there are things that are missing. DIN numbers are of zero use for physicians. What would be really useful is that if the ATC classes were attached to each medication. This would make it easier for EMR vendors to provide clinicians with the ability to search for medications by generic name or class.

I have used a number of differ EMRs lately and doing a prescription really needs to be made much more usable.
